PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Oh sure, it doesn't always feel great
Tons of obstacles can block your path
Friends and loved ones can fail you
You can even be your own worst enemy
Just don't give up -
hold on to hope!
I was filled with self hatred for years
One night Jesus shocked me out of it
He said, Fully forgive yourself as I do...
Then say, 'It's a great good thing to be me'
"That's impossible!
It stinks being me!"
He just kept on going
It IS a great, good thing to be you, because...
No matter how unloved, or messed up you are
Fact 1
- I am always loving you with total affection
Fact 2
- I am always forgiving you freely and fully
Fact 3
- I am always eager to help when you call
Fact 4
- I am always making good plans for you
Fact 5
- I am always bringing good out of the bad
Stunned, I said, "In that case you are exactly the God that I need!
It really is a great thing to be me (despite being as messed up as I am)
But ONLY because I have You for my God!"
He smiled and said,
"I'll never leave you or forsake you!"
If it's time for you to face the "Facts" and overcome self-hatred
